Latest Fileman Removes Body Tag From HTML?
The latest Fileman breaks my HTML pages when I view them in the built in editor. It strips out the BODY tag from my HTML page. Here is an example:

The existing start of the html file on the servers looks like this:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Title Here</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
a:hover { text-decoration: underline; background-color: #000000}
a:visited { text-decoration: none}
-->
</style>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></head>
<body bgcolor="#000000" background="../../folder/folder/folder/image.gif" text="#000000" link="#000000" vlink="#000000" alink="#000000">
<div align="center">


I open the file in the HTML editor in Fileman and I do nothing to it, just open it, then switch the mode to text and view it again and this is what it looks like:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Title Here</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
a:hover { text-decoration: underline; background-color: #000000}
a:visited { text-decoration: none}
-->
</style>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></head>
<DIV align=center>


The BODY tag (open and close) is now missing from the document.

Is this because the BODY tag attributes have been deprecated in HTML 4.0 or is this an error? It seems aggressive to strip the BODY tags out completely, because even in 4.0 I think it expects a start and end BODY tag, though without attributes?

I just did a little more testing.

If I change the Fileman "Editor mode" in the Prefs menu to "Text" and do not look at the file in the HTML editor at all, then it does not remove the BODY tags (because it is not using the HTML editor).

I tried the HTML editor with a very simple BODY tag, and the same thing happened - the Fileman editor deleted the simple BODY tag just like it did with the BODY tag with more attributes.

It's been over a week since I posted this report. Is this a known problem or one that anyone else has reported? Any suggestions?

I've come across the same problem. Is there a fix?

No ideas? Or just don't care? Think I'll have to look for another programme.
